Thread: 301 redirect help please

hi folks,

I did my first 301 redirect yesterday and all went pretty well (should have done it ages ago really). I used the below code:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^example.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

However now I'm a bit stuck. I also want to redirect example.com/index to example.com. I've tried fiddling with the code but nothing seems to work. I was wondering if anyone out there might be able to help out an .ht access novice?
